Brief steps:
1. Logon with Ent Admin rights. Open ADSI Edit, locate the user-Display object
(in CN=409,CN=DisplaySpecifiers,CN=Configuration,DC=yourdomain,DC=yourTLD).
2. Select the adminContextMenu attribute. Add to the attribute the value "2,
&Employee ID, \\location\script.vbs" (without quotes). Don't remove existing
entries, and if number 2 is already in use, select the next available number.
3. Create script.vbs and place in the correct location (Personally, I use
SYSVOL for the scripts since that way the scripts are replicated around and are
available to all users.)
4. Start ADU&C and right-click any user object, select "Employee ID" in the
context menu.
The attached exposes emp ID as well as 2 other attributes. Remove the parts you
don't need.
If you need to view and edit the emp id then you'll need to extend the script.
I have another script which exposes various other user related data. (Bad pw
count, last logon etc)

PS I should put this in a blog or article I guess :)

Can you send me some information on doing this. We just got tasked with doing
this yesterday and this would be a great shortcut. Thanks!

I have scripts and procedures to do this as well. I also (in my current role)
synched additional attributes from an external LDAP repository such as cost
code and desk location and exposed them via ADU&C too.
It's well liked by the support guys :)
The script on petri's web site which exposes logon date/time; password last
changed date etc is also useful and can be executed as per the above.

I have done this in our environment and I use it to alter employee id's and
employee numbers from whatever workstation I want (through the ADUC). I used
ADSI edit and made changes to the containers throughout the forest so that any
admin could get the right click context and make changes (if allowed to do so).
I am off work today, but tomorrow I will post the details of how I did it.
